Unai Emery\u2019s team\u00a0have\u00a0lost three of their last seven league matches at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-aston-villa-form\"><span class=\"green\">Aston Villa Form<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Villa have been beaten just three times in 14 matches in all competitions. After losing 4-0 at home to Tottenham, they bounced back to beat Ajax 4-0 at home to reach the quarter-finals of the Europa Conference League. They scored late in a 1-1 draw at West Ham, won 2-0 at home vs Wolves, and lost 4-1 at Man City with a depleted team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After surrendering a 2-0 lead in a 3-3 home draw vs Brentford, they beat Lille 2-1 at home. A superb 2-0 victory at Arsenal followed in the league before beating Lille on penalties having lost 2-1 in France. Their last match was a 3-1 home win over Bournemouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div   id="7rtdq1biye"    class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div   id="7rtdq1biye"    class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-black-color has-text-color has-background no-border-radius wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bet.machibet777-affiliate.com\/sports\/soccer\/england-premier-league\/\" style=\"background-color:#f2a12a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bet Now: Premier League<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-aston-villa-team-news\"><span class=\"green\">Aston Villa Team News<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unai Emery has Douglas Luiz available again in midfield after a two-match suspension. Emi Buendia, Boubacar Kamara, and Jacob Ramsey are all ruled out in the engine room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tyrone Mings is still out after knee surgery and Alex Moreno will play no part at left back in this one. Nicolo Zaniolo will hope to shake off a muscle injury to feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-aston-villa-motivation\"><span class=\"green\">Aston Villa Motivation<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This match comes before Villa hosts Olympiakos in the Europa Conference League semi-final. That may prove a slight distraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aston Villa sits six points clear of Tottenham in the top-four race and knows that Spurs face Arsenal this weekend. A win here would be a huge step towards Champions League qualification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div   id="7rtdq1biye"    class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div   id="7rtdq1biye"    class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-black-color has-text-color has-background no-border-radius wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bet.machibet777-affiliate.com\/sports\/soccer\/england-premier-league\/\" style=\"background-color:#f2a12a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bet Now: Premier League<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-chelsea-form\"><span class=\"green\">Chelsea Form<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Chelsea have lost their last two matches. They lost 1-0 to an exhausted Man City on Saturday in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley. On Tuesday, the Blues were humiliated 5-0 at Arsenal as they allowed 3.42 xG and were outshot 27-7. It was 5-0 after 70 minutes before the Gunners took their foot off the gas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before these losses, it was just one defeat in 12 matches. The results and performances were somewhat bipolar thought as a 2-2 home draw vs ten-man Burnley preceded a 4-3 home win over Man Utd before a poor 2-2 draw at Sheffield United in the last minute. The Blues then thrashed Everton 6-0 with Cole Palmer scoring four goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-chelsea-team-news\"><span class=\"green\">Chelsea Team News<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mauricio Pochettino remains without three defenders Reece James, Wesley Fofana, and Levi Colwill. Ben Chilwell and Malo Gusto are major doubts at fullback due to injuries too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In midfield, Enzo Fernandez continues to play through an injury. Romeo Lavia is injured for the rest of the season. Cole Palmer should be able to return to the XI after illness, but Christopher Nkunku is ruled out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div   id="7rtdq1biye"    class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div   id="7rtdq1biye"    class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-black-color has-text-color has-background no-border-radius wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bet.machibet777-affiliate.com\/sports\/soccer\/england-premier-league\/\" style=\"background-color:#f2a12a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bet Now: Premier League<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-chelsea-motivation\"><span class=\"green\">Chelsea Motivation<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Blues are wildly inconsistent in terms of their motivation.
